Find DIR, STEP and PUL pins and update firmware?
To not open two separate threads, I prefer to ask in it.
I have some TB6600 as I mentioned in this link: https://awesometech1.wpengine.com/k40-forum/topic/install-drivers-tb6660/
The problem is that I don't identify the mentioned pins in the minigerbil to be able to connect them, in an arduino if it is easier because there is documentation on the internet but from minigerbil I have searched and I do not see anything, can you Attach some drawing of the minigerbil connectors to make the connection?
And another query, my minigerbil has 4 months already and I have seen that they have released an update 2 months ago, isn't there a tutorial on how to update?
Hi, the pins are available on the driver sockets of the Mini Gerbil.
Step, DIR and EN plus GND should be used. DIR=Direction, EN=enable nad GND = ground.
You can remove the step sticks and insert 2.54mm spaced pin headers (identical to Arduino header pins).
You can reflash the controller but there is no need for it. I uploaded the firmware because we had to move all our downloads from our website to Github. Our site just became too slow.
If you want to flash then you need a ST LINK V2 dongle and download the free ST Link utility from ST.com

Thanks Paul for the prompt response.
In which minigerbil pins do I have to connect the ST LINK V2 dongle to be able to update?

Paul, bought this ST Link V2, the pack that comes both products because I did not know which one would work for me and since it is not expensive, I have taken both pieces.
Could you tell me how to connect it to the Mgerbil?
